OCR GCSE (9-1) Psychology

This textbook is very comprehensive and covers all topics in detail. I particularly like the checklist at the start of each chapter. It details what the chapter should enable the reader to do. Within each chapter, there are also useful coloured boxes to break up the content. For example, boxes titled; Challenge, Check your understanding, DIY and Study hint. These are good for setting as homework tasks/independent learning tasks. It is particularly good for our students as they find reading large amount of unbroken text, difficult.Practice questions provided at the end of each chapter are useful for both teacher and student as they provide a sample answer too. There is also commentary provided and so these could be a useful activity to use in class by asking students to mark these answers and provide comments.Key term definitions are provided throughout this textbook and a full glossary is given at the back. I find this useful to make into a card matching activity for students to do when they have finished tasks in class. It is also good that the key terms are highlighted in red text so they stand out easily to the reader. I would certainly recommend this book for anyone currently designing their new GCSE course resources.
